General notes
May. 20th, 2013 01:01 pmHilariously out of order; would need clean up to make an app but basically:
Working off from this...
Norikata's formula successfully converted Shirley into an immortal (in the agless sense) Dead Apostle, but failed to control the accompanying bloodlust. Which was probably doomed to failure given he wasn't turning her into a True Ancestor.
Given she's a recent turning, she hasn't run into all the myriad philosophical issues surrounding being ageless yet. For the most part, she is still mostly her mentally human self with vampiric bits taped on.
Shirley can still perform magecraft, she's just (still) not very good at it; an assistant, not a protégée as Kiritsugu was meant to be.
She will degrade if she does not consume blood, human or animal. It's not clear how fast this process is but:
1| She is newly turned, so she doesn't use up a ton of energy just by existing in the way, say, Chaos does.
2| Sunlight speeds this up.
Call it a week without blood or sunlight to see visible symptoms. Ingesting blood will make her energetic; going without makes her lethargic.
She can recover from damage by essentially reverting to the state at which she was turned (hence, her time is 'locked', which is what Noritaka was aiming for). She cannot stand long periods of sunlight nor cross bodies of water.
With Noritaka's formula and being a magus herself, she skipped most of the growth process, converting directly into a vampire without dying in the process; thus she still has her mind and soul and yaddah yaddah. Said process however had a high demand for energy, resulting in uncontrollable bloodlust post-transformation.
She survived the destruction of Alimango Island on sheer luck more than anything else, recovering from her bloodlust as the Mage Association and Church starting being distracted by the Dead. She managed to hide in a cave and survive the burning of the island; having destroyed all the survivors and burned the vegetation, the two groups simply left her there to rot.
To be fair, this would actually have worked; with no source of blood and very little cover from sunlight (and also no way of crossing the ocean), newly vamp'd Shirley would have been pretty screwed.
